| It's too soon to really say much about this series. Time will tell. Regarding the music, I didn't know to expect with Shinichiro Watanabe being in charge of it, but it turns out anything and everything he does turns out perfectly. Very fitting music. |
 |
| Now I understand how english-speaking people feels seeing/listening the horrible engrish from animes =/ That was a ridiculous adaptation, I bet they translated the portuguese lines with google's help. They mixed portuguese and spanish, misspelled a lot of words and there was sentences which made absolutely no sense. The music was a poor attempt to imitate 'brazilian music'. I hate brazilian music anyway, so I'm not going to comment on this. The scenary was a mix of Rio de Janeiro and deserts from USA. The 'favelas' were well reproduced, but they clearly don't know the difference between Brazil and the rest of Latin America, as most of the foreigners, sadly. I'll watch this show until the end, but I know I'll have to summon my zen spirit to survive through it. |

| ^ I thought so that surely they'll screw up somewhere. Visually it's quite pleasing and I'm going to stick with it. |

| how about that OP song....i saw it and i was like eh.....wheres spike? |
| That was an interesting start. |
 |
| Promising start, unique style and an outstanding mother XD I really liked the first episode, and will stick with this one to the very end with pleasure ^^ |
   |
| Great show, visually dynamic, emotionally engaging, and a great setting with authenticity. My only problem is that I wish we got to see Hana decide to go back to the house before Michiko rescues her...that was a little confusing. But a great setup, first episode. |
| Looks quite interesting to me. Promising story art and also sound (OP and ED are great). Loved it when Hanna snapped and couldn't hold herself back anymore, since we often see character just falling deeper into despair unable to escape in those situations. Looking qutie forward to the next episode. |

You do realize it's about northeast Brazil, don't you? Considering the amount of English errors the Japanese commit in their anime, like you pointed yourself, the Portuguese they managed to put out was quite acceptable, and trust me, much more accurate than a machine translation. |

| That was good, nice start looking forward to the next one :D |

| Wow that was great. Didn't expect something like that. |
| pretty damn good if I do say so myself, I can't wait for the next episode. |

| This was awesome! I was very impressed. It kept me interested all the way. I loved Michiko's motorcycle and sunglasses. And i wonder what the relationship is between the tattoos. I look forward to next episode! |
 |
| i didn't find it all that impressive. the episode quite boring in fact. but i still have hopes for the series since i didn't really believe things will kick in until the later episodes. |
 |
Oh the one scene reminded me of something... |

| Padre there is not a particularly good shot. A good first episode, though I had to watch it twice to catch that Hana was just daydreaming about being rescued (though I certainly hope she didn't daydream that righteous headbutt). Watanabe had to be on more than just the music. I'll enjoy keeping tabs on this. |
  |
| This was really interesting. And it looks damn good. |
 |
| I like it so far, the art is wonderful and I love the uniqueness of Hana's mother. I got so very excited when I saw Shinichiro's name in the credits I had to rewind and make sure! I didn't know he did music too, I like it so far! Hope he is half as good as his old composer. ;) |
| Too early to call this as best series of the year? I think not. I f'ing loved it! |
 |
I'm probably the only,who is thinking about "harry potter" ,when watching this one :D (same poor kid with evil parents, brother and sister,with no rights, and then miracle- she is rescued by outstandig outfit people and the life starts, someone need to inform jkrowling :D .Anyway, I LIKE IT |
| This has a lot of potential, that's for sure. And I'm happy to watch it just because Watanabe is involved. |

| man the first episode was pretty good... loved the pacing of it... cant wait for more! |
 |
| Wow, what an episode. Drama, drama, drama. What a bastardly family. I hope they all eventually die *_* |
 |
| Nice intro to the series, it's very fluid, the animation is great. Let's hope it stays that way. PS: Angel999, you watch everything don't you? You're in like every thread I've visited. |

freedoleen said: It would be nice to see Hana at the end of the series as a grown-up woman that resembles Michiko. There is a possibility they're actually not blood-related, but even if that is the case it shouldn't stop them from making many good memories. They both have gang tats. Michiko is probably following a promise Hana's mom, a fellow gang member, made with her. Probably to protect Hana. Overall I loved this ep. Happy to see Hana go ape shit on her fake sister. |

| Dang, this looks great. I am so far loving the music. The opening was orgasmic. What's HELLA scary is that the priest's voice sounds JUUUUST like my uncle, rofl. |

|
| It was interesting. Mainly the great OP, unique art style and mood. Story was only "ok". Didn't like any of the characters so far. I can't see how this is original. Nearly the same plot as "Daughter of twenty faces" in episode 1, though I admit I don't know which source was the first and I also know that nearly nothing story wise in any anime is really original. I hope it will get better. |
   |
| Pretty good first episode here. Can't wait to see what else comes from this since obviously the story hasn't really started yet. |
     |
| I loved every second of it. Awesome. |

| I honestly wasn't expecting much from this, a big-breasted female for fanservice and a vaguely amusing loli at best. What I got? Pure awesome. I love the setting, the art, what little we've seen of the characters. Really hope they manage to keep this up throughout the series. Also, Hana bitchslapping her 'sister'? Most satisfying scene I've seen all week. |
| Surprisingly good! Only disappointment was that the priest, his wife, and the two bully children weren't killed. Seems like Michiko isn't all that violent. Pity. The bitchslapping scene was fun, though... just wish it would have carried further. However! injustice aside, good episode. Will definitely watch more. |
 |
| I should have known trusted Manglobe more. The show has faaar surpassed my expectations already, this looks like it's gonna be one hell of a ride~ |

| Jeeze... another promising series. I'm not going to get any work done until next spring. |
| Sleeper hit! |
 |
| So Hatchin is Cinderella/Cosette. Well, not original but quite well rendered on screen and well directed too. Very nice introduction, very Manglobe/Watanabe-ish, very stylish with great animation and action scenes. It's pretty much like Samurai Champloo with a Cowboy Bebop feel, exactly what I expected of this first episode, nothing more, nothing less. Seen a hundred times though but still good... |
